The root of the problem in our region, these conflicts and wars, is the presence of those who claim to advocate peace in the region. That is, the United States and some European countries.

If the villainy of the US and certain European countries is removed from this region, undoubtedly these conflicts and wars will be completely eliminated. Then the countries in the region can live together in peace, health, and prosperity.

We are hopeful that with God’s help, the hard effort of the Iranian people, inspiration drawn from the Islamic Revolution, and collaboration with other nations, we will remove our enemies from the region, God willing.

Now that Iran actually went through with their promise and bombed the Jews, the calls for diplomacy are a lot less offensive.
But obviously, calls on the UN and EU amount to calls on America, as America totally controls these organizations. And when you call on America to contain the Jews, America be like:
But yeah, it’s protocol to exhaust all diplomatic channels when you’re on the brink of a massive war, so no one can blame the Iranians for this. NB4 “Anglin, you literally blamed them for this” – yes, but that was before they bombed Israel.
Also, the Ayatollah and the IRGC have clearly taken executive control from that beardless Azari faggot Pezeshkian, and the so-called “hardliners” (realists, actually) are now calling the shots.
Iran is bracing itself for likely Israeli attacks on its nuclear sites as the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, urged the west to leave the Middle East.
Khamenei met students and scientists on Wednesday in his first public appearance since ordering a high-risk missile attack on Israel in response to Israel’s attacks on the leadership of Hezbollah, the armed group Tehran has funded in Lebanon.
Iran, he said, was still in mourning over the assassination last Friday of the Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, but added: “Being in mourning does not mean being depressed and sitting in a corner.”
Iran’s attack has appeared to rally the country’s previously divided political elite as the leadership justified the attack on Israel by insisting it was effective, lawful and unavoidable to restore deterrence and Iran’s sovereignty.
Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister, made a round of diplomatic calls, including to European foreign ministers, insisting that Iran was not seeking escalation. Unlike Israeli attacks in Lebanon, Iran’s targets had been strictly military and not civilian, he claimed.
Asked on Wednesday if Iran had given any direct warnings to the US about the attacks, he said: “No, I do not confirm such a thing. But we had an exchange of messages through the Swiss embassy in Tehran, giving the necessary warnings to the US.” He said that message was sent after Iran had launched the missiles into Israel.
Switzerland has long acted as a diplomatic intermediary for the US in Tehran.
The Americans are such fat babies they won’t even talk to the people they are trying to start wars with.
Part of the purpose of Araghchi’s calls was to convey the limits of the Iranian operation, and to urge the US and Europe to insist in turn that Israel show restraint in its response.
He added: “I anticipate that we may gradually witness a return to some form of stability in the region in the coming days.”
Iran’s defence minister, Aziz Nasirzadeh, also urged Europe to contain Israel. “Otherwise they will face Iran’s response and the region will enter into a great war,” he said.
At a meeting of the UN security council in New York later on Wednesday Iran is expected to defend its actions in line with the UN Charter.
There’s no stopping it now.
Future history has already been written.
